Gitcoin Stamp

The Gitcoin Stamp verifies that you have donated to an official Gitcoin Grants round, demonstrating participation in public goods funding.

Quick Facts

Requirements

• A donation of $1 or more to an official Gitcoin Grants round
• The donation must be to a recognized, official round (not side rounds or independent grants)

Step-by-Step Verification

1. Donate $1 or more to a project in an official Gitcoin Grants round at grants.gitcoin.co .
2. Wait for the 4-week verification delay after the round concludes.
3. Navigate to the Passport App and connect the wallet used for the donation.
4. Select the Gitcoin Stamp.
5. Manually claim the stamp once the verification period has passed.
6. The stamp will be added to your Passport.

Verification Delay

There is a 4-week delay between making a qualifying donation and being able to claim the stamp. This delay allows the Gitcoin Grants round to finalize and verify all contributions.

Important Notes

• Manual claim required — The Gitcoin Stamp is not automatically applied. You must return to the Passport App after the verification delay and manually claim it.
• Official rounds only — Donations must be made through official Gitcoin Grants rounds. Donations to independent or community-run rounds may not qualify.
• 90-day validity — After claiming, the stamp is valid for 90 days before it needs to be re-verified.

Troubleshooting

• Stamp not available — Ensure the 4-week verification delay has passed since the round concluded.
• Donation not recognized — Confirm you donated $1 or more to an official Gitcoin Grants round using the same wallet connected to your Passport.
• Round not qualifying — Not all Gitcoin rounds are eligible. Only official rounds count toward this stamp.
